Good Morning Major! Good Morning Mrs. Major!

I was absent yesterday due to my on-going fun work schedule. So.....Good yesterday Morning Major! Good yesterday morning Mrs. Major!:)

I'd better check my wallet because I guess I'm also a dollar short! :laugh:

Today we remember those who fell. I'd like to honor them with a sad, but, seemingly appropriate quotation; I hope nobody minds.


With Rue My Heart is Laden

"With rue my heart is laden
For golden friends I had,
for many a rose-lipt maiden
And many a lightfoot lad.

By brooks too broad for leaping
The lightfoot lads are laid;
the rose-lipt girls are sleeping
In fields where roses fade."

A.E. Housman

God Bless America and let's never forget those who fell on this day.

Good Morning Major! Good Morning Mrs. Major!

How is the healing progressing? I hope my last post wasn't too somber for you...or anyone else!

So...to balance that somber quotation here is today's quote

"Jack eating rotten cheese, did say,
Like Sampson I my thousands slay;
I vow, quoth Roger, so you do,
And with the self-same weapon too."

Poor Richard's Almanac -1741

Have a lovely day.

Good Morning/Day/Evening to you all! :) It has been a wonderful week! Many, many thanks from both the Missus and myself! She is mending very, very well according to her doctors and surgeons so great news on that front! :toast:

As most anyone with a few years behind them has experienced, while sitting with someone after surgery, illness or similar, you tend to have a lot of time to think and I mean a LOT! ;) I also think we all can point to certain moments in our lives that tend to stick with us for various reasons. Some good, some bad, some even that have helped mold out lives from that point forward.

I know for me, I have been blessed with many good years that provoke such thoughts but some of the ones from my formative years stand out. I mean stand out as in they taught us certain behaviors that modified our own lives and how we perceive things through our adult life.

One such story is from a period in time right after my sister passed away when I was age 7 (she was 5) and carried on for 5 summers. The lesson is not about death but about life and our perception of our own personal situations. I would love to share the story but it is long and would have to be over 2 or 3 postings.

Before I go off down that trail and despite it being a life altering and very positive/uplifting lesson, I wanted to see if you all minded me sharing it first. I wouldn't post it all at once but if you all don;'t object, I'd like to share it for despite its ; length, it is very true and the lesson learned still serves me well to this day as it will in the future.

Unless someone does mind, I'll post part one of it with my next post. And if anyone does mind to hearing an old guy droning on, trust me, it wont offend me. I'll check the posts carefully as I always do anyway before going off that trail. Here's wishing you all great ending to yet another week and wishing you all a fulfilling rest of the week! :)

Good evening Major, I for one would be honored to have you share your story. So glad to hear all is well with your mrs and you. Amazing that we can connect on such an intimate level at a vaping forum. These connections may be Imeos greatest accomplishment and that is saying a lot considering his amazing creativity. Please feel free to share what ever you wish my friend. :)
